Family

I am late to the party for so many things. I have recently discovered Game of Thrones. I am officially hooked and incapable of doing much else until I finish one more episode of Season 1 and finish all of Season 2. I even went so far as to bring my iPad to the gym today and watched an episode while I ran on the treadmill. I will say that it may have been helpful because I kept running long after my distance was covered, I didn’t want to just stand there on a treadmill and not move. But I couldn’t leave without knowing how the episode ended. Maybe I am on to something. Hmmm…

I found a recipe similar to this one on from The Enchanted Cook ( I am sure that you have seen it floating around Pinterest), but I do not eat mayo, so I made mine with sour cream and added fresh herbs, garlic, and lemon zest. I have made this chicken so many times in the last few months. It is ridiculously easy, and while not the most attractive thing that I make, it tastes amazing. Everyone at my table loves this chicken recipe and it is a keeper. You do not need anything more than a side of veggies or a simple salad.

Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish that has been sprayed with cooking spray. Mix together sour cream, garlic, lemon zest, salt, pepper, chives, and parsley in a small bowl. Mix the panko crumbs into the sour cream mixture.

Spread the sour cream over the top of the chicken breasts. Cover with Parmesan cheese. Bake in a preheated 400 degree oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through, and the cheese is golden brown.

I have not had this in years. My stepmother use to make something very similar but she used a packet of dry Italian salad dressing, and it came out a bit saucy. It was fantastic. I like how your recipe has a golden crust on top. I am going to have to make this!!

My husband recently came home from a meeting with our dairy company manager with a CARTON of cartons of garlic sour cream!! (an embarrasment of riches!) so Im scouring the net for recipes that use savory sour cream – this sounds delicious. Cant wait to give it a try using thighs (cos thats whats in the freezer ;-))

I used the sour cream w/ chives (premixed) and chopped garlic for those garlic lovers and found it to compliment the chicken even more especially with children that are super picky about their chicken and i was their hero. Thanks for the info

Bree! I absolutely loved this recipe. I was searching around on your blog for a quick weeknight dinner for me and my boyfriend and this will definitely find its way into my weekly rotation of meals. It was so quick to put together and I served it with a side salad for a perfect supper!
I used fresh home grown garlic and it was delish! Thanks again for sharing this awesome recipe 🙂

This recipe is awesome. I didn’t have panko, so I used crushed butter crackers (similar to Ritz) like mentioned in the comments and it was great. Thank you so much for a quick, easy, and delicious dinner tonight! 🙂
